Koh Samui Holidays

Koh Samui is Thailand’s third largest island, situated 80kms east of Suratthani, just off the western coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The Island is a tropical gem located in the warm blue waters off the country's south-eastern seaboard. Holidays in Koh Samui are fun and relaxing as the island is rich with natural resources, white sandy beaches, coral reefs and coconut trees.
Almost entirely developed now as a tourist island, Koh Samui remains low-rise and the holidays here are popular not only for travel but also foreigners owning villas and property on Koh Samui.
